    Thank you so much Sammy. I played this at my wife's funeral. She passed October 18th 4:20 a.m.. the old pothead that she was had to pass on 420. She loved Eagles she loved to fly she was born again and went to the sky. Thanks Sammy excellent tune

      So sorry for her passing, always remember she's right beside you everyday, not in body but her spirit. I'm sure she's smiling down at you and singing with every blow of the wind. Keep the faith it will carry you through.

      I’ll say this. I saw both versions of Van Halen live twice. This narrative now about Roth being a better front man is a myth. He was GREAT on camera. In music videos Roth was a genius performer. But because he did high kicks and shaked his ass did not make him a great front man in concert. He didn’t engage with the audience as well as Sammy (and others) and didn’t really generate any real energy. Van Halen had far more energy in concert with Sammy and sounded infinitely better.

    I’ve been a Sammy Hagar fan since I saw him open for Boston in St. Louis in 1978. He rocked the house. When he hooked up with Van Halen I thought, why would he do that? Then I went to their 1st concert in St.L and discovered why. They became a supergroup. It’s too bad Sammy & Eddie couldn’t work out their differences. We missed out on a lot of great music.

    Just watched this again after a few years. Still a moving and inspirational song. Would be nice one day to hear it played again by the same group.

      Brilliant song, Sammy was the first cassette that I ever bought, remember "Plain Jane ". Eddy Van Halen will never be replaced.
